Confederate Relics.

A TINES reporter was yesterday shown
receipts for $500 dated July, 1864 The
receipts were for the tax due the Confed-
crate States by the well-known firm of
Sampson, Pae & Co., for gun sales made
by that firm for the quarter ending July
LIST, 1864
Also a receipt for 800 for one quart
bottle of apple brandy purchased about
the same time. This was nearly one dol
lar per drop. These and many other
relics of the Confederacy are in the pos
session of our fellow citizen Mr.. John G.
Andrews.

sEcr1oN or DYNAMITE GuNBoAr


This vessel is to 20 2l6 feet over all in length
with beam Of % feet and a draught Of
~ feet She will be built Of American steel
with q DETECTING deck from which ordinary
shot will glance off. There will be four
boilers 10 drive the two Independent screws
These, with the engines, will be powerful
enough to drive the vessel through the water
at the rate If twenty knots an hour. The
boilers will be placed as far apart as possible
with water tight bukheads between them so
that if i'm an engagement the portion Of the
vessel containing one or two Of the boilers be
blown away she would float and still have
power enough not TO be helpless.
The armament will be the unique feature
of this craft 1t will consist of three steel
tubes lined with brass, seventy feet in length
and ten and one-half inches in diameter.
These are the guns. From these will be thrown
by air pressure projectiles containing POO
pounds of nitrogelatine each to the distance
of a mile and mt the rate of one shot in two
minutes from each gun. There are TO be two
reservoirs for the compressed air, from which
the air will be let into the tube behind the
projectile at pressure OF 1000 pounds 20 the
square inch if necessary. As the guns viii
be immo7ably fixed in their place, the range
will be regulated by the pressure of air al
lowed to propel the projectile, and the guns
can only be fired while the vessel is "head on"
10 the enemy.
On suggesting to the engineer in charge
that the vessel was designed TO attack the
enemy on tho "billygoat' principle only, he
said the guns would throw sixty shells, or
six tons Of ne most terrific explosive known,
during twenty minutes OF the time they are
steaming up to the enemy, and the presump-
ton is that before that time has elapsed there
will be no enemy left
An advantage claimed by this pneumatic
gun method of sending Il torpedo at the enc
my is It's economy. The torpedoes which are
steered by electric wires from a station on
shore cost from $1,000 TO SIS. 600 each, and Of
course are destroyed on being used. Each
shot from this dynanit" shin containing the
same weight Of explosive VIII cost but $500

A PLEA FOR FAIR PLAY.

The death of Mrs 10th is matter OF
universal regret, and the greatest sympa-
thy has been expressed for the family so
deeply bereaved. Yet in the midst OF the
feeling which has been manifested it
would be well to remember that this Is
not the first case of the kind that has
ever occurred in Richmond, although
it may be the first arrest that
has followed. A precedent has been made
in the case Of DR.. Gardner, although the
general impression is that nothing can be
done with him, and that it will only end
in cost to the Commonwealth and like
most of Richmond's sensations. DR..
Gardner would be less than human if he
did not suffer keenly in mind, and his
connection with the unfortunate affair
will certainly injure his worldly pros
poets. AT the same time, because he is a
young doctor and comparatively un-
known, it is not just that he should be
condemned and execrated without fair
hearing. Fair play for all without re-
gard to age. sex, color, class, condition,
or creed is the motto of The TINES.

"Bow Arrow Point, on Lake Champ

CnENEYvlILE, La, I
August I, 1887, :
Editor Louisiana Democrat
Dear Sir.-A punster signing himself
"Cheneyvillc," in Saturdays 7own Talk,
makes very free use of the personal pro-
noun "we," thereby intending perhaps to
give this impression to his readers that
the views expressed in his article is the
opinion of the people of this place. If
such is the intention of the writer, he is
greatly in error in his attempted witt
cisln when he says 1--WE do not desire a
Black-man." Such your readers are as
surod is not the view of the voters of Che
NEVILLE. The general opinion is and is
freely expressed, that Judge w. F..
Blackman has served the people we'll and
faithfully. His opinions and decisions
have, with only perhaps one or two ex-
ccptions in the very many cases which
have been left for his determination, met
with the approval of our Supreme Court.
In the CoNrt room he is every inch a
Judge, and strict order and decorum are
observed when he prcsides.
This the people are well aware of, and
as before intimated they are not rlpe for
any movement which would shelve him
with perhaps, purpose, or at least pos
sibility Of filing his responsible position
with another who may prove not so we'll
qualified as he has proved himself.
As to our being meek and observing
Ncpkarn Hwen endorse Chenoyvillo in
that. The DR.. has proved himself wor-
thy, high toned gentleman, and one in
whom we can safely put our trust. No
desire is expressed Of wishing him to step
out, nor will there be, so long as he re-
mains as true to the interests of the PEG.
pie as he has shown since he has been on,
representative. Our motto with both
"Black-man and Meek-er' is "When you
get a good thing, SAFE, oh! SAGE it."
